Current Status

Currently it works after patching the v4l-dvb.

Need to test the sound and Composite inputs.

Update: I tried the sox command to route the /dev/dsp1 to /dev/dsp, but it thrown error saying /dev/dsp1 is already locked and cannot open. I think it is due to the pulse audio already locked it. But still I can't get any sound may be some gpio registers deed to be set or the device definition needs some change. Any inputs are welcome.
I am testing this on ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64-bit.

Will release the patch soon.

I need help on releasing this as a Patch upstream.

Anybody interested can contact me jeevas.v AT gmail.com
